Off the field, Dongfang Muxue's face was extremely grim.
She never expected that Zhou Qiao would lose!
Zhou Qiao, who rose to fame at a young age, could even be considered her trump card. She had gone to great lengths to choose sides in order to win Zhou Qiao over, but unexpectedly...
Is it Chu Nanyue?
Whispering the name repeatedly in her heart, Dongfang Muxue took a deep breath to calm the shock in her heart.
Before this Mansion Competition, she had never heard of this name before. Now it seems that this prodigy will soon be able to successfully enter the Saint Realm.
The Eldest Imperial Prince now has one more usable card in his hand.
Damn it!
Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked up and gazed into the distance, just in time to meet the gaze of the Eldest Imperial Prince.
His eyes held provocation, disdain, and mockery. He glanced at her briefly and then looked away, as if he thought she was utterly insignificant.
Dongfang Muxue was enraged by that glance, and at the same time, she couldn't help but darken her expression.
Regardless, losing to the Eldest Imperial Prince in the first round was a real blow to morale.
Fortunately, she still had other capable people at her disposal, so she wouldn't lose every time.
Opposite her, the Eldest Imperial Prince calmly withdrew his gaze and let out a soft snort.
He had made thorough preparations for this Mansion Competition.
Human resources, material resources, painstaking efforts...
The winner of this Mansion Competition can only be him, and the successor of the Divine Dynasty can only be him.
It can only be, and it must be.
As for the princess...
The Eldest Imperial Prince's eyes darkened at the thought of the princess.
Although he and the other person had grown up together since childhood and shared the same blood, he had never been able to regard the other person as his family.
Whether it was his own perception or the facts told to him by anyone around him, he knew clearly that the other party and he were absolute competitors.
And I will be the best successor to my father.
What makes her think she can compete with herself?
How could Dongfang Muxue not sense the disdain in the Eldest Imperial Prince's eyes?
For some reason, she felt a strange unease creeping into her heart.
Even though she possessed considerable strength, meeting the other person's gaze made her feel as if she had already fallen into a disadvantageous position...
This made her uncontrollably worried.
Moreover, she has always been very clear about this.
On the surface, the struggle between herself and the Eldest Imperial Prince appeared to be evenly matched, with both sides having equal strength. However, in reality, she was always at a slight disadvantage.
This disadvantage is very slight.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't flatten it.
Even though Lin Xuan helped her eliminate two Late Saint Realm and several other Saint Realm under the Eldest Imperial Prince last time, he couldn't truly injure the Eldest Imperial Prince's bones. In a short time, he was able to recuperate and heal his wounds again.
Although she is the eldest princess, the Eldest Imperial Prince has been cultivating his power for many years, establishing deep roots in the Divine Dynasty and having extensive connections with various forces. His foundation is unimaginable.
Especially the Eldest Imperial Prince's mother...
Even though the other party had been dead for many years, when she was alive, she was incredibly ruthless, and she had no idea how much she had left for the Eldest Imperial Prince.
Just as Dongfang Muxue was filled with worry, she heard the names being called out on stage once again.
"The second match: Liang Qi of the Forgotten River Prince's Mansion versus Sikong Sheng of the Yaoguang Prince's Estate!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was once again shocked.
After Zhou Qiao and Chu Nanyue, it was Liang Qi and Sikong Sheng again!
It sounds like the two sides have no connection.
However, everyone in the Taiyu Divine Dynasty knows that what they have in common is that this is also a force under the princess and the Eldest Imperial Prince!
Of the Sixteen Princes' Mansions, not all of them sided with the princess or the prince.
This makes such a 'coincidence' all the more intriguing.
This also made many people hold their breath in suspense.
This time, the Mansion Competition...
That's really quite profound!
After all, everyone knew that the timing of the Mansion Competition was not a coincidence. No one but the ruler of that divine dynasty could arrange the Mansion Competition matchups.
What exactly does he want to do?
Many people had this question in their minds.
Could it be... that he's so eager to see his children prove themselves superior?
Some people are worried, while others are excited.
The one who was excited was naturally Xia Huanchao from the True Spirit Prince's Mansion's Mansion.
Xia Huanchao clenched his fists, his face full of excitement. If he hadn't been in the Mansion Competition arena, he probably would have stood up uncontrollably.
Even so, glancing left and right, he couldn't help but speak to Lin Xuan, "You just wait and see. Seventh Senior Brother has comprehended Seventh-Level Sword Intent. Hmph, consider it a bargain for you, allowing you to observe properly and understand what a true sword is..."
But to everyone's astonishment, before he could even finish speaking, a figure flew down onto the field.
The figure fell heavily to the ground in a disheveled state, spitting out a mouthful of blood. In shock and anger, he looked up and revealed his face, instantly silencing the crowd. Xia Huanchao, who had just been showing off, was rendered mute in an instant, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.
because...
The person who was defeated before he could even finish speaking was none other than his seventh senior brother Liang Qi, whom he had just been boasting about!
Xia Huanchao was stunned on the spot.
He stared wide-eyed in disbelief, but no matter how he looked at it, the situation on the field remained unchanged.
On the arena, Sikong Sheng coldly flicked his long sword, looking down at Liang Qi, whom he had just knocked off the stage.
"Ha... is this all the useless trash that comes from your princess's residence?"
His tone was full of sarcasm.
"If everyone is like you, I advise you to admit defeat as soon as possible!"
Having said that, he looked at the referee.
"I won this round, didn't I?"
The referee on the ring broke out in a cold sweat.
quick!
That's incredibly fast!
In less than two breaths, almost as soon as they entered the arena, Liang Qi was completely outmatched after just one move and was sent flying.
Sikong Sheng won too easily and too effortlessly!
He took a deep breath.
"Second round, Yaoguang Prince's Estate, Sikong Sheng wins!"
"Ha!"
Sikong Sheng gave a short laugh, turned around and walked off the stage without even glancing at anyone else.
This arrogant attitude caused many people in the princess's residence to grit their teeth and glare intently at the Eldest Imperial Prince.
That's incredibly arrogant!
But at the same time, they were also very clear that the other party did indeed have the right to be so arrogant.
Chu Nanyue, Sikong Sheng...
Dongfang Muxue's heart sank lower and lower.
Why?
Why are the people on the Eldest Imperial Prince's side so strong?
Something's not right.
Everything before her eyes did not match the information she knew.
The strength displayed by the Eldest Imperial Prince's men was far greater than she had ever known.
Her bad premonition could no longer be ignored and grew stronger.
